Two Flavor Bar Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 2/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs
3/4 c. all fruit apricot jam
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 2/3 c. sugar
3/4 lb. butter
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 c. coconut, flaked

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0.
Line two 9-inch square pans with aluminum foil.
Combine 3 cups flour, 2/3 cup of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a food processor and whir until well mixed.
Cut 1/2 pound of the butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
With a fork, beat 1 of the eggs with 1 tablespoon water and the almond extract.
With the motor running, pour egg mixture into food processor and whir just until large crumbs start to form.
Remove 1 cup of the crumbs and set aside.
Pulse remaining mixture until it forms a ball.
Divide dough in half and press half into the bottom of each prepared pan. Bake 1 pan until top starts to look dry, about 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool.
Spread jam over dough in the other pan, leaving a 1/8-inch edge.
Sprinkle reserved crumbs on top.
Bake until golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes.
